Talian listened patiently to her story, pleased to hear her speak. It took some of the tension out of the air and in an odd way, it helped him focus. "It looks like it's healed well," he remarked after a period of silence. "The scarring can be reduced with special salves, but it will always be slightly sunken-in. I had to remove too much flesh from your arm," he explained. "If you'd like, I can mix the salve for you.

" He could have poured his heart out, but screw that. Instead he just gave her a lopsided smile. "..Krypth really wanted me to like her eggs, huh...?" Shards, the hatching was so close...
